E190's to Republic
You heard it here first...
Delta deals the E190's to Republic in exchange for their C-Series delivery slots (on top of what's already been ordered.)
They are just waiting for the pilots to give in on RJ scope in the current negotiations.
Ask Ed said today- "We are in the process of selling the 190's," and "The E190's will not be flying mainline."
His use of the word "MAINLINE" is the trigger.

Sweet. We will kick them out. Oh wait, didn't they get an exemption?
I heard that Ed said if we took delivery of the 190s that they were to be flown to the desert, stripped of parts and they'd be smashed.
On that note, Embraer is suing Delta.

If the E190s were going to fly for a DCI carrier wouldn't it make sense for DL to retain ownership so they can whipsaw the regionals against each other for the lowest 190 rates? Just thinking like an evil CEO for a minute.

Republic already has the 190 on their certificate. None of the other DCI's have that.
Sure, the 170/175 is common on the pilot side- but operationally is a different story.
My theory is based on how DAL is a major stakeholder in the bankruptcy of Republic. So, though they are "sold" to Republic, Delta is still a significant controller in what Republic is allowed to do.
I may even go as far as saying that eventually Republic would be wholly owned. MAY...not convinced yet... But wouldn't be surprised.
A "wholly owned" label would possibly even help in regards to scope carve-outs; Say 'X amount of 90-100 seat aircraft must be owned and operated by Delta airlines' but not necessarily by "mainline" pilots. Hmmmm...
